*9Ether World*
*Hollie Continent*
*Demon Forest*
*Next Morning*
Daylight came once again and this was not just any day, it was the beginning of a new journey, as the future will tremble at the might of this duo, currently, well sleeping.
As promised yesterday Navir stood up the entire night watching out for the healing bear, surprisingly not one single demon beast dared to come close even to the obviously injured beast.
Now as the light of the sun shun on the both of them it was Navir's turn to get some sleep so he could recover, he snuggled up into the bear's some how soft fur and instantaneous fell into a dream.
Well unknown ro outsider if it was indeed so or maybe a nightmare after all the things he's done.
But as he did, the sleeping bear opened it's large eyes and glanced at him for a moment, after that little rest and hibernation along with its massive reserve of vitality it was fully healed almost 2 hours ago.
But it pretended to sleep out of instinctive but now what, it pondered as it watched the small little human sleep atop it's once injured chest which the human caused.
.""Grr"".
The bear growl lightly before becoming silent again and closing it's eyes, it then raised its hand gently and placed one of its paws on Navir's body as if saying I will protect for now.
And like that they layed there in beautiful hormony and silence, all that was moving was the synced rise and fall of their chest.
Soon an hour passed and Navir sleeping on a dangerous beast chest opened his sleepy eyes, with blurred vision he sat up rubbing his face."*Yawn*, Didn't expect comfortable sleep out here and look, you didn't eat me."He said plainly as he stood up.
.""Graa Gra Graaa"".
The sleeping bear opened it's eyes again looking at Navir curiously, it released a cute growl as though asking a question.
."Hmm, what is it, hungry too?."Navir asked tilting his head as he pat his own stomach, he hasn't eaten at all yesterday, plus with the fighting he was famished."My mp and stamina is almost fully recovered, just need to eat."
The bear shook it's head gently to not shake Navir off, but it still left him confused, are demon beast actually that intelligent.
[*Pingu* The Mountain Black Bear Is A Close Relative Of The Animal Species, Black Bear, Which In Their Own Right Are An Exceptional Intelligent Species, They Can Count, Use Tools, Solve Problems, Communicate Across The Species Divide And Much More, They Are Also Emotionally Complex Creatures As Well, Not Unlike The Human Race]
."Did you just read my mind?."Navir asked under his breath glancing behind him as though he could see the source of the mysterious computer voice.
[*Pingu* Pixel Computer Root Did Not, Simple Calculations, Guessing And Analysis Of Facial Expressions Were Enough To Deduce This Much]
Navir nodded believing it, it hasn't lied to him so far but he'll keep his guard up just incase, he looked at the mountain black bear."Can you translate what it said for me."He said.
[*Pingu* Sure Thing, Translation:What are you, you don't smell like the annoying bugs known as human. She Said]
."Oh, you can tell I am not human, is your nose really that good?."Navir said to the bear calmly then he paused for a moment glancing back."....She?."
The bear seeing him respond was again slightly surprised, she nodded again."Graa graa."She growled out happily still observing Navir curiously.
[*Pingu* Yes, The Sex Of This Mountain Black Bear Is Indeed A Female, If It Were A Male Then One Of You Would Have To Die, She Also Said, Translation:I have an ability, Nature's Blessing, it let's me identify substance harmful or foreign to nature]
."I see, luckily me then."Navir said impressed, he then copped his chin in thought."Harmful and foreign, the fact that you didn't fight me to the death says, I am just foreign."
The bear she nodded to his word."Graa Graa Graaa."She growled puffing up her chest a bit seemingly in pride.
[*Pingu* Translation:I am the guardian of nature, meaning I am very special, I reach no limit as I get stronger]
."Is that so, all the demons I've seen so far had level limits, like the orcs at 45 and I believe the ogres and Goblins as well."Navir said conversing with a being he couldn't even understand, maybe he might try to learn bear one day.
Hearing that the bear felt like she was praised so she growled and puffed up her chest higher appearing smug, Navir seeing this only looked on calmly.
."Tell me, why exactly did you agree to be my pet, it's not like strong creatures like you to serve someone else, especially "unintelligent" demon beast."Navir asked her curious about that, he after all did beat her pretty bad.
The bear she stop in contemplation, she looked at the blue sky above for a bit before looking at Navir."Graaaa."She growled.
[*Pingu*.....Translation:Because you are a man, and I am in heat, you are strong also so my instincts gave in accidentally]
."..Oh.."Navir appeared stunned at that, he could only look at her, he honestly didn't know how to respond to that."Um.."
Seeing him so shocked the bear's body vibrated as though laughing."Graa Graa Gra Gra Gra."She growled again with another nod of her head.
[*Pingu*Translation:Don't worry, it will go away by itself, I am too big for everyone and my species doesn't get along well with each other, eventually we will die out, but whatever]
."I-i see..."Navir respond slightly flustered for the first time in a long time, he scratched his eyebrow.".So.. do you want a name?."
The bear's eyes widened at that."Graaaa Graaa Graa Graa!."She growled excitedly.
[Translation:Really, can I really have one, my parents were just in heat so they didn't bother to name me, I would be grateful for it!]
."Yes."Navir said returning to his calm state, he fingered his chin in thought."Hm, Tom, Mm no, Bob..Chin..no no...computer."
[*Pingu* The Overlord is bad at giving names, Apologies If Offended, Might I suggest, Misha, it means bear in a language from earth, or Nalle, meaning teddy bear]
Navir liked the sound of them both."Alright Mmm."He gazed at the expectant and hopeful monstrosity of a creature."Misha, do you like it."
.""GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!"".
Misha sounded like a dragon the way she growled, the trees around her shook like it experienced a hurricane and the ground beneath her body crumbled and formed a crater.
."Woa."Navir looked at this feeling strange, Misha somehow felt stronger now."Misha were you holding back in our fight?."
Misha shook her head."Gra gra gra gra graa."She said firmly as she explained.
[Translation:No, I did not, not weaker in heat, just more irritable, mind is fuzzy so unable to control strength well, time for heat to go away so control is returning]
Navir acknowledged this, seems like he was still underestimating just how powerful this beast truly was, it might had played out differently if he caught it at a better day.
."Let's go eat Misha."Navir said walking across it's body and jumping off onto the ground landing soundlessly."Do you know where I can find fruits, most these trees are just decoration."
Misha nodded as she rolled over back to her four paws, she motioned with her head to follow her, with that she began walking futher into the forest.
Navir didn't even bother to be wary, he quickly hopped back onto it's back sitting and enjoying the ride of his new pet bear.

*Rosia Kingdom*
*Royal Palace*
The Rosia palace was a grand palace overruled by the Rosia Royal family that has ruled the kingdom of Rosia for well over a thousand years.
It has been through the winds and rain, storms and lightning fighting through even the likes of the war with the Demon King centuries ago, yet here it stood as mighty as its always been, one of the oldest kingdoms in the world.
It's guards were mighty and its roots and secrets even mightier, not many would dare to recklessly provoke then and risk damnation.
Currently in the throne room was a scene to be seen as a heated argument was unfolding, on a throne sat a robust man, he had long brown curled hair to his back and hardened brown eyes, on his head was a golden crown as a similarly color armor coiled his body.
He was the definition of Ruler, this was King Roland Vitorium Veridian the 21st, king of the Rosia Kingdom, a powerful man in his own right.
Sat next to him on a slightly smaller throne was a beautiful woman, as gorgeous as the stars above and as pure as the earth below, with her blonde eyes like emeralds and similar matching hair, she was like a Goddess.
This woman was the queen of the Rosia Kingdom and beloved wife of King Roland, Zara Veridian, said to be a saint amongst mortals and unable to watch someone in need without helping.
Both of them held expressions of worry but Roland's was more firm and determined, the source of their worry, their 17 year old daughter Aurora Vitorium Veridian.
She stood before them defiantly with fluffed cheeks and a pouty face, her appearance was that of her mother and very much was a copy of her, blonde eyes and blonde hair, when she matures many would be unable to tell the difference.
.""I'm going!"".
.""You're not"".
.""I'm going!!!"".
.""I said no you're not!"".
Queen Zara could only glanced between the both of them and eventually chuckle at their back and forth banter, hearing her King Roland looked at her.
."Hmm, what honey, also would you talk some sense into this girl, tell her what a bad idea this is."King Roland said as he released an exasperated sigh, he was only trying to protect his precious daughter.
Queen Zara sweatdropped as she felt her daughter's determined gaze on her."W-well, Aurora your father is only looking out for you, we are both worried is all."She said gently.
."But mother, big brother was allow to go out even younger than me, it's not fair!."Aurora said even more defiantly as she stomped her feet and fold her arms not wanting to hear any of it.
Hearing this queen Zara didn't know how to respond as it was indeed true, she glanced over to her husband who's face appeared darkened.
."Aggg, SILENCE, GO TO YOUR ROOM RIGHT THIS MOMENT!!!."King Roland bellowed out with frustration and an aggression, not particularly aimed at his daughter but she drew it out.
Aurora jolted back, never having seen her father like this before, even queen Zara was frightened as she jumped, her hand covered her chest.
Split seconds later King Roland realized what he had done and held up his hand to his daughter, but the damage was already done, Aurora's eyes welled up with tear looking at her father with puppy eyes of hurt.
."A-aurora I'm..."King Roland went to apologize to her but before he could she ran away leaving behind her tears, he squeezed his fist tightly.
Queen Zara looked at him sadly."Why did you do that, you must have frightened her greatly, you are her hero and her protector, she must feel that you are angry with her now."She said soft reaching over to hold her husband's hand.
."*Sigh* It's just that damn brat, I don't want her to end up like him and just thinking about it makes me angry."King Roland said through gritted teeth, then he sighed again."But alas, children will be children."
Queen Zaza glanced down even more sad thinking of her son, though he feels that it's a secret, it really wasn't, they knew all about how he has been meddling in the dark.
."..I suppose so..children will indeed be children, but maybe we're going about this the wrong way, we were children once, we know what it's like to be told not to do something."Queen Zara said as she chuckled reminiscing."The more we were told no, the more we wanted to do it, if I had listened to my father I wouldn't have married you."
King Roland almost choked on his own saliva as his eyes widened with shock."W-what, but your father loved me didn't he?!."He asked in a baffled tone, he even stood up in disbelief.
."Hahaha, no you were the king so had to like you, outwardly at least, but when we were alone I'd hear his hour long grumbles of how arrogant and egotistical you were."Queen Zara said smiling with her hands covering her mouth.
King Roland got a tic on his forehead."Damn that oldman, I'm going and take my flower back from his grave *Hmpm*."He said folding his arms, then he heard something he haven't heard in a long time surprising him.
."Hahahahahahaha!."Queen Zara laughed loudly and joyously, her bell like laughter like warm the heart and bring happiness to a staving man, she held her stomach.
King Roland just gazed at her in a daze, the mock anger he had built up all but vanished into thin air and the strings of his heart were pulled like zither, playing melodies of harmonious love.
At the entrance two guards were also put into a daze at least till the king sent them a glare and made their heart leap, in the bad way, they whistled looking at the ceiling suddenly finding it interesting.
After a minute of chuckling to herself queen Zara finally regained her composer, she release a breath as she wiped a stray tear from her eyes looking at her lovely husband.
."If you want to know a secret dear husband, though my father complained about you, he never failed to mention your accomplishments every chance he got."Queen Zara said with a pure beautiful smile, then her eyes closed."Besides, if my dad truly didn't want me to marry you, you'd already be dead and I'd be single haha."
King Roland felt a shiver go down his spine, then in his mind flashed the giant oldman that is the father of his wife and even that made him gulp."Y-yeah right, I'm-I'm not afraid of some oldman that could barely walk."He said feeling the phantom bruises of the oldman's training.
Suddenly Queen Zara widened her eyes looking besides her husband."Fa-father!?!?."She exclaimed in shock, King Roland hearing this hopped off his throne and threw up his fist with sweat instantly coating his face.
.""Hahahahaha!"".
Queen Zara broke down in laugher again, this time even the two guards couldn't help but chuckle as well, this was when King Roland realized he was tricked by his own wife.
."*Guards, leave me."Roland said taking his seat, the guards hearing his order bowed and quickly left, he then looked at his wife then turned his face away."*Hmpm* I'm not talking to you anymore."
Queen Zara chuckled at his antics before getting up and going over to him, sitting on his lap she made herself comfortable."~Honey I was just playful, I'm sorry ok~."She said gently as she kissed his lips.
Feeling the soft touch to his face, how could King Roland not react, the fires down below were lit ablaze like hell."I-I guess it doesn't really matter."He said already giving in as he skillfully move to her neck.
."~Ahh, honey should we go to sleep early today?~."Queen Zara asked moaning as she hugged his neck gently and eagerly.
King Roland's eyes lit eyes, he stood up lifting his wife in his arms."I can handle the royal affairs tomorrow, today is us time."He said firmly as he walked to the door ready for a showdown.
.""~Hahaha~"".
